Saturday DEC 14 Our Communities, Our Future Community Rally at Arlington County Govt HQ 9 AM (2100 Clarendon Blvd, Arlington, VA 22201) — Hosted by For Us, Not Amazon and 4 others: https://www.facebook.com/events/554448688448386/ Rally alongside community members to express our collective opposition to the expansion of Amazon’s empire and the corporate greed it represents. Today, the Arlington County Board is scheduled to vote on expanding Amazon’s empire by choosing whether to approve more square footage for Amazon in Arlington. We are calling on Board Members, Erik Gutshall, Libby Garvey, Christian Dorsey, Katie Cristol and Matt de Ferranti to stand up in solidarity with the public against this expansion. Amazon’s presence will contribute to the ongoing gentrification of Arlington and the Washington D.C. Metropolitan area, leading to further displacement of Black, Brown, and low-income families. 9 AM for public comments to Board, followed by a community rally at 10:30.
